food IS a theme park
May the 4th be WITH you, indeed!
Star Wars Day Hat
In honor of Star Wars Day, Disney dropped a TON of Star Wars merchandise and we tried SO many Star Wars Day treats like the Dark Side Chocolate Creation, Interstellar Sweet and Crunchy Popcorn, Galactic Swirl Funnel Cake, and we even drank out of Darth Vader’s helmet!
We’ve gotten LOTS of big news about the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel today!

Disney officially announced that the opening date was pushed back to 2022, and we got details about dining, a SUPER cool lightsaber, and more. But if you happened to check your My Disney Experience app today, you’ll notice something exciting just happened!
Happy May the 4th, a.k.a. Star Wars Day!

Today we’ve gotten some HUGE updates from Disney about one of the experiences Star Wars fans have been eagerly awaiting — Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (also known as the Star Wars hotel). So far, we’ve gotten a look at the incredible new, realistic-looking lightsaber that will debut there, and an update on when the hotel will open. And now we’ve got some news about a way that you can get a special peek at part of this hotel!
Happy May the 4th, everyone!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
The day celebrating all things “from a galaxy far, far away” is already off to a bang! Disney just shared that the official opening of the much-hyped Star Wars Hotel, Galactic Starcruiser, has been pushed to 2022, they also shared a video of that crazy cool working lightsaber in action (we told you we didn’t dream that up!!). Now, we finally got some information on where we’ll be able to EAT onboard the Halcyon!
What a truly glorious time it is to be a Star Wars fan!

Not only is the Disney Cruise Line planning a Star Wars-themed lounge for the Disney Wish, but a newly released book is giving us ALL kinds of details on the Galactic Starcruiser hotel, which is easily one of the most anticipated Disney hotel…ever?
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…Disney announced that it would be building a Star Wars hotel experience called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

The “Star Wars hotel” is more of a cruise-type experience where guests will stay aboard a “spaceship” for 2 nights and participate in all kinds of activities including lightsaber training, operating the ship’s defense systems, meeting Star Wars characters, and more. Reservations were set to open in 2020 (but they didn’t) and the hotel experience is set to open in 2021. But, if Disney does open the Star Wars hotel this year, a few things could go wrong. Today, we’re breaking that all down for you.
It’s kind of a weird time for Disney World right now.
EPCOT
As you can imagine there are LOTS of upcoming offerings that we’re excited about, from attractions to restaurants and everything in between. At the same time, we haven’t had any big NEW announcements in a while. So, there’s only so much we know about the next few years in Disney World. What can we expect for the years to come?
We’re anxiously awaiting more news on Disney World’s most anticipated resort, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

The new experience will be unlike any other Disney resort hotel, as guests will be aboard a “ship” (the Halcyon) for two days with only one port stop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, very similar to a cruise. Guests will be able to participate in interactive stories and dress the part throughout their stay. It sounds VERY unique and we anticipate many (including us!) will be eager to try it out. Problem is, progress has been SLOW! We decided to reach out to our followers to see what YOU think!
If you’re looking a completely immersive Star Wars experience where you can truly live out your own Star Wars story, it sounds like Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars hotel that’s not really a hotel) might just be the thing for you.

The hotel is currently set to open in 2021 and we’ve been keeping a close eye on all of the construction going on there. But, today a MAJOR new development has been spotted related to the Star Wars hotel. Anyone out there want to work in space?
We’ve been keeping a very close eye on all of the construction going on at Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel).

So far, we’ve gotten a look at it from the ground and seen some pics from the inside, but now we’ve gotten an updated look at the project…from the sky!
